Be the Change Lyrics

Centrifugal motion, we go round and round

Trying to gain some common ground

The east fights with the west

Each side is thinking they know what's best

I'm not saying that I know what's right

Every story has its two sides

To end our conflict, I think that we must

Build a foundation on love, peace and trust

I'm inspired, by those who've stood for a cause

Some have died, feeding the helpless with pride, with the words

Be the change you want to see in the world

Time is a wind blowing sand on the shore where the rivers of life are converging

Every grain of sand is a woman or a man whose common history is merging

Change is the constant on which we can rely

On the river we learn that the current is strong and will drown you if you don't start swimming

Blessed are the few who will teach you how to swim and can guide you through the rapid churning

They ease us through changes and support our lives

There's a fight, raging inside of my heart

To do what's right, and break from the silence and speak, the words

Be the change you want to see in the world

As I write, a fire is burning inside

It's shining bright, illuminating my mind, the words

Be the change you want to see in the world
